This article explains how to set up your documents and turnsheet to choose between optional clauses, which is something O&D can be set up to do quite easily.

Step 1: Square bracket the clauses

Firstly, within your document surround each of the clauses with [square brackets]. It doesn't matter if the clause is multiple paragraphs long, just put an opening and closing square bracket at the start and end of each clause.

Having done this, O&D will automatically extract each of these clauses and add them as columns to your turnsheet when you add the document to your matter.

Step 2: Power Ups

We have 2 power ups that are used in conjunction to select between optional text: the Remove Square Brackets powerup and the Delete powerup. Typing {{unbracket}} in the cell corresponding to the clause you want to keep will keep it in the document, but remove the square brackets surrounding it. Typing {{delete}} in the cell (or leaving it blank) will delete the clause from the document (any affected numbering, formatting, etc. will automatically be adjusted}.

Taking it a step further, you can use conditional logic to automate these columns instead of typing {{unbracket}} or {{delete}} manually.
